Reviews

Mr. Huff's lively, human-interest treatment of the dry-as-bones
subject of statistics is a timely tonic. . . . This book needed to
be written, and makes its points in an entertaining and highly
readable manner.
Illustrator and author pool their considerable talents to provide
light lively reading and cartoon far which will entertain, really
inform, and take the wind out of many an overblown statistical
sail.
A pleasantly subversive little book, Guaranteed to undermine your
faith in the almighty statistic.
